This is a very rare record from the 80's The new wave band Tyrants In Therapy released this record in 1984. This record specifically, 3 People Nude Below The Waste 12", is a very rare and historical release. The release features a groovy electro clash new wave track crossed over with scratches and drum machine work from the legendary Knights Of The Turntables. This crossover (electroclash, new wave with cuts) alone was a rare occurance in 1984.
Mike aka Tyrant Mike has direct ties with the famous Los Angeles based label JDC Records (early electro label). I personally called JDC, as a record dealer, and was informed that there were only a few of these 12"s in existance. Mike, the lead singer, owned all 3 of them. This was rare in the mid '80's and is very rare today.
I personally believe that someday this 12" will finally be recognised as one of the first for this type of crossover.
The only other new wave record that I can compaire this release to is Visage-Frequency 7. Though Visage's Frequency 7 is without scratches it is also a rare crossover very similar in electro style.

I really must confess, this was it. This is the record that started it for me. I mean when I was in the 3rd & 4th grade back in 1976-77. I was spinning 7"s on a fisher price turntable in our grade school gym. I would take the bus to Downtown records in Flint, Michigan for the latest 7"s. About 5 years later, when I had my first set of technics, "D'ya like scratchin" was my first 12". The record itself was amazing. It had the funky cover with that oldschool "Sanyo" ghetto blaster-all tricked out. The cover also included Keith Haring artwork. What a piece of art. And the music? Malcom Mclaren has been underrated for decades.
What about "Duck Rock"? Malcom Mclaren had an insight on the elements of hip hop when most producers were distracted by the technology. You can take a look at all of the other upcoming electronic music from 1983 and compare. This ep was true to the elements, which were hard to predict at the time. He understood the potential of scratching as an istrumentand found people who were doing it. At the time, "the world famous supreme team show" was a radio duo in New York that transended these messeges. Malcom Mclaren used the world famous as an element to glue together world music in "duck rock". This was done way before Paul Simon even thought about graceland and Malcom does it much more authentically. The social norm sleeps! Malcom Mclaren is a modern day Bethoven, a genius. I hope that someday Malcom Mclaren will be rewarded and credited for his part in transending this new modern element of music (1983 was a long time ago, as were the sex pistols, check his amazing discography). Check out this D'ya like scratchin' ep, if you can find it. Once you hear it your soul will depend on it.

When I first heard the wizard drop this track (future), I thought the electrifying mofo just landed his mothership on my roof. My porch lights burned out. The very next day I headed for Buy-rite music on 7mi, I had to hook up on this track. I gave a big shout out to juan, who just happened to be chillin' in Buy-rite that day.
Now, when I take this track for a ride on the 1200's, it still gives me chills. Those phased out synths and trade mark snares compliment the futuristic baseline, not to mention the piloting vocals.
